Jane Kenyon won the Grand Prize for her artwork "TWILIGHT" in the Pfaff Interational Embroidery Challenge: "Landscape, Let us Travel" which opened last October in London and travels to France, Holland, and Germany.
The works submitted are primarily created on a home sewing machine using freehand embroidery. Out of thousands of entries, 100 are chosen for exhibition, and for the jurors to name awards.
Jane Kenyon’s richly colored and densely stitched wall pieces are feasts for the eyes and the mind. Her trademark surfaces are densely layered threads – stitches-- some created by hand, most created by machine; built up and carved out high and low areas, enriched with lace-like spaces that are held together only by fabric constructed with more dense threads interlocked. She constructs with a palette of jewel-like hues that are enhanced by hand-dyed fabrics and threads. Her inspiration “comes from many sources—the environment, historical textiles, other women and their lives. Each piece may have a different layer of meaning, some more obvious than others, but I would like each piece to stand on its own aesthetically, whether or not the viewer discovers the meaning hidden therein.”
